Brilliant. Great job, this poem is so utterly amazing. Each line brings a rush of feelings and emotions in an overwhelming amount. I loved how each and every word was heartfelt. Wonderfully written. Keep up the great stuff.

Hey this was great, i just trhink that the last line, take out the "run" in the "run and hide" part. otherwise, good job!

I REALLY like this cause it's so true that while you think that the tears will heal your pain they just end up bringing it more and more to life. So sorry you're going through all this crap girl...but hopefully this pain ends soon. love yah, girl! Bye!

First point. Great choice of title. And as always you have a steady rhyme scheme (If it's one thing i hate, it's an unsteady rhyme scheme - Tara)
Also, you have a wide choice of wording in this poem yet kept it simple so it read nicely..

"But the coughing and the muttered cries,
The rocking back and forth in my bed"

The only thing i can suggest is taking out the 'my' to just tidy up the flow of this stanza.

But yet again, you have a diamond of a poem here.
So many people would probably be able to relate and understand the emotions shown in this piece
Well done
